A New Feeling

☆ Chapter 31 ☆

**Trigger Warning: mention of self harm and poor mental health**

Bonnie's eyes shot open. When he tried to move, he felt restrained and immediately panicked, suspecting the worse. After a few seconds, he realized he could see again. He was strapped into the protective cylinder. He peaked over to someone working on him on the other end.

When they heard his erratic movements, they glanced up and quickly lowered their head to the microphone to communicate.

"This is only repairs. Remain still." They reprimanded. The bunny still trembled lightly but tried regulating himself back to normal.

"There is no way you did this to yourself. What happened and what did this to you?" They questioned. The bunny hesitated to respond.

"I-I...cannot recall. " He simply said.

"So the attack effected your memory?" They asked unsurly.

"Yes." He responded as steady as possible. He heard the worker sigh in frustration.

"We've been catching some odd activity in the tunnels," they began. Bonnie tensed in worry they had seen something of he and Freddy. To his relief, that was not the case.

"Oddly enough, some of the unused endoskeletons have been showing mobility, we are not sure if they're aggressive, but they might have been responsible for this." They assumed. Bonnie decided to run with it.

"Y-yes...that makes sense." He responded.

"We'll warn the others as well, but no more wandering in the maintenance tunnels without supervision, Bonnie. We have caught you on camera alone there a few times. It is not the safest part of the Pizza Plex, and you are one of the main performers." They lectured. Bonnie nodded slowly.

"We'll discharge you back in your room in an hour or so, so hang tight." They ordered before muting the mic and walking away. The bunny couldn't stand being alone right now and audibly whimpered and tensed up, becoming very alert.

He noticed his vision was better than before the attack. So he was successfully upgraded. Any animatronic should feel overjoyed by these improvements... yet the bunny just felt worse about himself.

"They just fixed me up! My eyes are so much better now-" He explained. He was sitting by Freddy on the couch and hugging his knees while Roxy and Chica were on the ground listening.

"And... you are sure you do not remember what happened...?" Freddy asked suspiciously. Bonnie shook his head.

"Nah... I had a pretty nasty head injury." He chuckled. Freddy nodded slowly. Chica sat up.

"You need to stop getting hurt! You're freaking us out." She scolded. Bonnie laughed and ruffled her hair playfully.

"I'll try to, lil' chick." He teased.

"You're pretty tough, Bon!" Roxanne commented. Bonnie paused.

"I-I am...?" He asked in genuine confusion. Roxanne nodded.

"Yeah! You can take a lot of hits. That's awesome, dude!' She complimented. Bonnie giggled sheepishly and crossed his arms, leaning back on the sofa.

"T-thanks." He nodded. Freddy had acted oddly quiet the whole time. Bonnie almost asked about it before they were all interrupted by a very confused maintenance worker walking in. They glanced at the other animatronics oddly before turning to Bonnie.

"Bonnie, we need you back in repairs for a checkup." They ordered. The bunny nodded and stood up to follow then out. When they were alone again, Freddy reclined further in the sofa.
